Stand-up comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina, was left shaken by the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Taking to Instagram, he shared a screenshot of the horrifying news and wrote, “Unable to sleep tonight.”
This emotional message struck a chord with his fans, many of whom are used to his light-hearted content. Samay, a Kashmiri Pandit from Jammu, has often opened up about his roots, sometimes through heartfelt reflections, sometimes through sharp satire.
Samay’s connection to Kashmir
Samay, has also previously spoken about the struggles faced by his community. In 2022, after watching the film 'The Kashmir Files', he tweeted a moving tribute to his parents: “My learning from the movie is that my parents went through the worst and still managed to work hard in a different city, starting from scratch and raised me the best they could. Forever indebted to them.”
What happened in Pahalgam?
On Tuesday afternoon, a group of terrorists launched a brutal attack on tourists in the Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam.

Bollywood reacts with anger and sorrow

Akshay Kumar posted on X, “Horrified to know of the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam. Sheer evil to kill innocent people like this. Prayers for their families.”
Vicky Kaushal wrote on Instagram, "Can't imagine the pain of the family members who lost their loved ones in the absolutely inhumane act of terrorism in Pahalgam. My deepest condolences and prayers.”
Sanjay Dutt, meanwhile, called for strong retaliation and urged the government to take action. "They killed our people in cold blood. This can’t be forgiven, these terrorists need to know we are not staying quiet. We need to retaliate. I request our Prime Minister @narendramodi ji, Home Minister @AmitShah ji and Defence Minister @rajnathsingh ji to give them what they deserve.”

I just watched #TheKashmirFiles last night and I was in tears. As a Kashmiri Pandit kid who grew up safely in a different city like many of my fellow KP 90s kids, the movie really shows how brutal the genocide really was and the horrors our parents and families faced.
